Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution (30) is as complicated as it is serious. It

To better understand the effects of crying in humans, it is also important to consider the animal
counterparts to human crying (in the domain of communication), as well as other animal behaviors that
might serve stress-reducing functions. In all mammals and most birds, offspring react with (25)
calls or distress calls to being removed from the parents. There can be little doubt that this is the
phylogenetic basis of the acoustical crying of human infants. This very basic form of crying is meant to
undo the separation from the parents and it is not likely to have any direct soothing function. Rather, this
behavior seems to be associated with a state of increased arousal and result in soothing because of the
comfort and support it elicited, that is, because it has (26)
its inter-individual function. In animals,
distress calls are mainly (27) by young offspring, and they are never accompanied by the production
of tears. (28) , candidates for the mechanisms that might contribute to reduction of distress in nonhuman animals (and in humans as well) can be found in displacement behaviors and stereotypes, (29)

are proposed to serve communicative functions as well.

(29)

often one of low wages and, in many case, unemployment. Some did not adapt (30)
to life in a country
of cold weather and discrimination. The (31)
of West Indian immigrants moved into the inner cities,
areas that were already fraught with social tensions caused by poverty and poor housing. There were
